This week’s movie premieres

The wait is over, and the second installment of Joker is here, once again starring Joaquin Phoenix in his disturbing role, accompanied this time by none other than Lady Gaga. The film finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham Asylum, awaiting trial for his crimes when love and music come knocking at his door. Unlike the first movie, this one is a musical frenzy that transports us into the Joker's turbulent universe.

Fun fact: Joker was the big cinema revelation of 2019, with a budget of $60 million it grossed over $1 billion at the international box office and swept all the awards.

A moving story with touches of comedy, it follows Romina, who is about to turn 40 and has spent over 20 years working as a promoter in a job that neither challenges her nor makes her happy. Determined to change her life, she decides to quit, but in a crisis-stricken Buenos Aires, she only gets poorly paid offers and struggles to re-enter the job market. A heartwarming character trying to navigate life's challenges.

Fun fact: Romina is portrayed by Martina Gusmán, star of major films such as Elefante Blanco, Carancho, and La Quietud.

The journey of two immigrant women who arrive in Argentina from Bolivia, carrying with them the knowledge of an ancient story and intertwining their fates with those of other women in whom they see themselves reflected, crossing borders far greater than territorial ones. An epic tale of struggle, uprooting, and overcoming adversity.

Fun fact: The film had a successful run in various festivals across Chile, Peru, the United States, India, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia.
